Ugly vs Gogeous speakers


I know speakers should be all about sound but I can't help responding to the look as well and this presents me with a dilemma.

I have owned B&W Nautilus 803's for many years and love the sound and value (excellent sound for reasonable cost). I would love to upgrade but I (and wife) think that the retro Star Wars R2D2 looking speaker (802) is nothing we would have in our living space.

What do others think the best looking / sounding speaker is? Do looks matter to you?

B&W 800 Matrix. I remember looking and reading about them in stereophile when they first came out. I was in awe back then. I used to look at the pics and dream of owning them one day. Today they are now in my room and love looking at them and the sound is amazing. Don’t know what I like better the sound or their looks. 😂
